KYIV, Dec 19 – The European Investment Bank (EIB) has allocated EUR 99.6 million in assistance to the Ukrainian government for the reconstruction of about 200 facilities in 18 regions, the press service of the European Union Delegation to Ukraine reported.

EIB Vice-President Teresa Czerwinska, who is responsible for the Bank's operations in Ukraine, said: "Ukraine, like most countries hurt by war, needs strong partnerships and resources, or else spillover effects become even more disruptive. A hundred hospitals, social housing units and educational facilities have already been renovated with our support and thanks to the incredible efforts and determination of the Ukrainian government, municipalities and construction workers. We are honoured to stand with them, providing the necessary financing for new life-changing projects, ensuring sustainable, energy-efficient and rapid recovery."
